User-Defined File Location:
In former versions of server-specific information backup, only
one file, servedata.nds, was created in the sys:system directory. Because the file was smaller, it
was not critical where the data was placed before copying off to tape. With eDirectory 8.7.3
you can use filesystem TSA to create a full backups of the database. Three files are involved.
For one of these, ssiback.bak, the file location is user defined.
Restore Using Backup eMTool:
The server-specific information can only be restored using
the Backup eMTool.
16.9 Recovering the Database If Restore
Verification Fails
The restore process includes a verification step, which compares the eDirectory database on the
server being restored to other servers in the replica ring by comparing the transitive vectors. (For
more information on the restore process, see
“Overview of How the Backup eMTool Does a
Restore” on page 428
and
“Transitive Vectors and the Restore Verification Process” on page 435
.)
If the transitive vectors do not match, the verification fails. This usually indicates that data is
missing from the files you used for the restore. For example, data might be missing for the following
reasons:
You did not turn on roll-forward logging before the last backup was performed.
You did not include the roll-forward logs in the restore.
The set of roll-forward logs you provided for the restore was not complete.
NOTE:
Another issue that causes the restore verification to fail is participating in a replica ring with
a server running a version of eDirectory that is earlier than 8.5. For more information on this
situation and what you might be able to do, see
“Restore Verification Is Backward Compatible Only
with eDirectory 8.5 or Later” on page 436
.
File
Description
Location
ssiback.bak
This backup file is the same as the full
“hot backup” created with the Backup
eMTool. See
“About the eDirectory
Backup eMTool” on page 425
.
User defined. The default is
sys:system
.
Because of file size, we
recommend it be relocated
onto a volume other than
sys:
.
ssiback.ini
A text file containing the path where the
ssiback.bak
file is located. Default
backup file location is
sys:system
.
For example:
vol1:/backups/ssibackup.bak
.
sys:system
ssiback.log
A high-level view containing information
about previous backups. The log file
contains a history of all backups,
records backup start time and end time,
and contains information about possible
errors during the backup process.
